    @emmab0902 So glad to see you are back in the water.
    I am in taper mode right now for my major event for the year - Emperor's Challenge.
    Picture running over Mount Ngauruhoe on the summit climb trail.

    envious of you being able to spend that long in the pool. If I arrived at opening time I could maybe push it to 1hr45 before having to leave for work :( have done a 5km in that time, but killed me for work.
    Tempted to have a day off now and that'll give me 2.5 hours in the pool - see what I can do! haha

    did a mile this morning - lazy style in prep for run and BodyPump tonight

    Usually my pool closes Sept 1st for Maintenance cycle.
    They had 1 of there major water circulation pumps fail in May.
    The 2nd pump started to leak water this week so the pool is now closed 2 weeks earlier than normal :(

    4 miles today.
    Pool heater must be having an issue. Easter was 86-87. Usually 80-82. Makes a big difference if I want to do sprint sets.
    HAD to stick to straight pacing.
    I forgot how warm 86 feels. I've done 88 in the past.

    I'm not like a real swimmer like you all- started swimming again after 30 years sloth. My local affordable pool is weird size (17.5 meters) so cant do easy sets so I'm relying on my Apple Watch to tell me how far I swim.

    Until today, for a variety of reasons including plain old out of shape - have only been able to do breaststroke for multiple laps.

    Again, my swims look wimpy, but for a fat old fart getting her feet back in the chlorine- well I'm pleased.

    Today: first swim 1250 meters. (Lap Breaststroke , lap crawl, lap Breaststroke , lap backstroke , lap Breaststroke and repeat). Second swim: 550 meters crawl - 15 minutes).

    I will be trying to do 3 or possibly 4 swim days a week. I will need to put together some sort of workout plan.

    Hello swimmers!

    @ryenday we are all real swimmers. Some go faster some go further but we are all the real deal. There's always someone faster - even Michael Phelps got g silver medal in Rio. So enjoy your swimming and the shared love of the water you will find here :smiley:

    @ryenday everybody's swims count here. I am a late learner (sliding home to my 50th birthday this winter and took up swimming only 3 years ago). I'm pretty slow, and I'm sure that I don't have the most efficient stroke (I can only do the front crawl), but it gets the job done for now :). I also take a water fitness class a few times a week, and I find that it is a great complement to swimming laps!

    Welcome!!

    Forgot to post... I did swim this morning! Another outdoor swim. Pool closes in a week for the season, then the indoor pool will close for about 10 days for maintenance :(. Boo hoo! Got my mile in today, plus a few extra laps to round up to 40 and then "one more" for @fishgutzy , lol.

    Yesterday, the pool was hot going in. Something up with the thermostat? Maybe.
    Must have been at least 88F. Only made 80 laps.

    6000 yards today. Just over 3.25 miles.
    Pool still above normal temp. Felt warm going in. Much prefer 80 or lower.
